This is part of the difference between series.
I’ve heard some people confusing the words breath and breathe. Here’s the difference between the two.
Breath
Breath is a noun that refers to the air that travels into and out of the lungs when, well, breathing.
- I took a deep breath, whispered, “You can do this”, and stepped onto the stage.
Breathe
Breathe is a verb that refers to what you do when you take a breath.
- Don’t breathe too quickly, or you might hyperventilate.
Memory trick: Keep in mind that breathe and verb both contain an E.
